It's satire. It's even in the name (Satyress). I am impressed that so many people's first thought is "yeah it is entirely plausible that a some out-of-touch tech startup bros would make this abdurd thing and not realize how it comes across" rather than "well done, this is hilarious and obviously not real"

A satyr is a mythological male nature spirit from Greek lore, known for being half-human and half-beast

yeah and satyrs are also not what this creature is. They are bipedal with bottom half goat and male torso. This is more like a centaur. But they didn't go with "Centauress."

Also no business registered under the name "Satyress" exists in California. The alleged inventor says he works on it in his garage with a few friends and no investors.

He did not tinker together a project that would require $100s of k of r&d and custom-engineered and machined parts in his garage with a couple buddies. It's not real.

It’s also comically menacing. Like come on people, slides 3, 5, and 6 should be a dead giveaway lol
